Acetobacter, Gluconobacter, and Gluconacetobacter all contribute to the production of Acetic Acid and elevated VA. They can be treated and prevented, but early identification is extremely beneficial.

PCR for Botrytis +$57.00

Identify Botrytis in order to be proactive about maintaining clean fermentations.

PCR for Brettanomyces +$57.00

PCR (polymerase chain reaction) is a rapid method to identify organisms by the amplification and detection of unique sequences of their DNA. In Real-Time PCR, millions of copies of these unique genetic sequences are generated in just a few hours, detected and quantified simultaneously with fluorescent probes. The increase in fluorescence is proportional to the number of copies generated. The time it takes to reach a predetermined threshold of fluorescence is dependent upon the number of organisms in the sample. The duration of time can be compared to a standard curve which is constructed by treating a series of a known population of specific organism's DNA to the same process. Results are available in 48 hours.

PCR for Lactobacillaceae +$57.00

Lactobacillus can be responsible for stuck fermentations while also contributing to Acetic Acid production. It is attracted to sugar and can be treated with Lysozyme.

PCR for Oenococcus +$57.00

This lactic acid bacteria is beneficial for malo-lactic fermentation, but is also capable of producing acetic and causing stuck or sluggish fermentations. It can also be detrimental to bottled wines.

PCR for Pediococcus +$57.00

Pediococcus can produce off-aromas and can also be treated with Lysozyme.

PCR for Saccharomyces +$57.00

While beneficial for primary fermentation, Saccharomyces can cause spoilage in finished wine. It is also crucial to ensure that wines being aged or bottled with residual sugar are protected from this yeast to prevent further fermentation.

PCR for Zygosaccharomyces bailii +$57.00

Zygo is the most common spoilage yeast brought into the winery, often in grape juice concentrate. Zygosaccharomyces is resistant to the common preservatives and inhibitors used in winemaking. This yeast thrives under the high osmotic pressure of concentrate as well as the high alcohol content. It can be very difficult to get rid of, especially in bottling lines.
